Jennifer Lopez has kept $50,000 worth of diamonds she borrowed.
The singer-and-actress wore the Robert Mouawad jewellery to the launch of
Andrea Lieberman's fashion line ALC, in Beverly Hills, and while other
guests have given back the precious jewels, Jennifer has kept hers.
A source told the New York Post newspaper: "We received a call from her
manager informing us that Jennifer was going to keep the jewellery. As far
as Mr. Mouawad is concerned, Jennifer can have whatever she wants, but a
premature demand seemed presumptuous. He will lose no sleep over $50,000,
and frankly, Jennifer's endorsement is priceless."
Jennifer's manager Benny Medina insists the 39-year-old star was given the
jewellery along with clothes from the ALC fashion line in return for hosting
the event.
Medina said: "There was no demand whatsoever. There was an offer. It was
very clear. It was agreed she would be given the entire collection of
jewellery and clothes.
"She was the only celebrity whose name was on the invite. She would have
done it for nothing. But this was how it was presented. It was quite a
generous offer."
Jennifer is not the only star to have encountered problems while wearing
expensive borrowed jewels.
In 1993, Sharon Stone was sued by Harry Winston Inc. after she failed to
return a $400,000 necklace. The 'Basic Instinct' actress claimed she thought
the jewellery was a gift.
Paris Hilton had to pay out $100,000 after losing the lavish Kwiat bracelet
she wore to the Oscars in 2003. The blonde socialite said the trinket was
stolen from a friend's car.
